Charlees Double Helix (Spiral Tree) - 2 sided, 4 spirals, 5-6+ft tall! 200 pixels

Charlees Double Helix is a unique spiral tree with nothing like it currently available!

This spiral tree has not 1, but 2 spirals from top to bottom, having 100 pixels on each spiral.  Extended, this tree can be made over 6ft tall!

The double spiral adds in both significantly better effects over a single spiral, but also additional structural support for the spirals themselves!

One mounting option include our stand that has a cross base at the bottom and 2 spots for using EMT, PVC, Wood, Rebar (etc) to support the stand upright.  Our stand is meant to help with setup and is not structural to support the tree without additional supporting.  For indoor applications our stand, with additional supporting, can be used without need to place supports/stakes in the ground.  The stand shouldn't be used in areas of wind.

The other mounting option is to simply use 3/4" EMT and our free to download/print tree topper support. 

The tree topper support can be downloaded by clicking here.

To set this up in Xlights you will use the following:

Place a tree in your layout
Type: Round
Degrees: 360
Rotation: 3
Spiral Wraps: 4
Bottom/Top ratio: 3

For 2 port connections at your controller:
# Strings: 2
Nodes/String: 100
Strands/String: 1

For 1 port connection:
# Strings: 1
Nodes/String: 200
Strands/String: 2

Once your model is created - it is suggested to create a few submodels refer to the video for instructions if you need them.  Otherwise:
Spiral Tree should have top of 1-100 and bottom of 200-101
Split or create 2 more that break these out separately into "Side 1" and "Side 2"

It is recommended to use a "flat back" style pixel - for weight savings and due to the lower spiral being close to the ground itself.
